National Media Link Nugent With £6m Sunderland Bid

Derek Shaw remained tight lipped over the affair today saying no formal offers had been received and no business would be done whilst the youngster is away with the under 21 squad.

It may well be the case that Sunderland will offer a player in exchange thought either to be John or Elliott. Nothing has been confirmed and no deal will be finalised until Nugent returns to discuss terms with whichever club a fee is agreed with!
